Iron shirts?

I'm doing good if the shirt I pull on isn't inside out.

As for Sunday wear, my shirts are cleaned and pressed. It's a habit I picked up working as a funeral director all those years because a dry cleaner is next door to the mortuary.

One thing I miss about living in the south is I wouldn't have to iron my shirts. The humidity will magically remove most wrinkles.

There is no way it would ever be possible to justify your own time for doing this, not to mention that the shirts done at home very, very rarely (I suspect tooblue will argue abotu this) look as good as the ones done in the laundry. Now I am only talking about dress shirts, as t-shirts and casual shirts I ususally don't mess with at the laundry, but for work or church shirts, you could never convince me that it isn't worth it to have someone else do it for me.

Call me strange but I find ironing cathartic –it’s one of the few menial task I enjoy … and I absolutely HATE wrinkled clothes. Truth be told I won’t let my wife iron my shirts, she is far too haphazard and rushed.

Besides –who’s got time to go to the dry cleaners, not all of us can afford to hire personal assistants to fetch our drycleaning!

I am certain he was a sharp dresser -consider all those paintings of him as evidence

Are they nylons or pantyhose? My wife gives me that "How can you be so ignorant?" look when I refer to her pantyhose as nylons. She should be happy with my ignorance of such matters.

Mrs. FM and I find it humorous to observed the dress transition or new sisters in the ward from Utah. The dress code for sisters in the wards here seems to be blouse,skirt,no nylons/hose/whatever, and sandals/flip flops type of shoes. Mainly due to the heat I imagine.

The women from Utah move in with their pumps, nylons, dresses, etc. and it's funny to see how quickly they modify their dress. It's also an intersting persponality study. The ones who continue to dress that way tend to be the ones that consider themselves "in the mission field" and refer to Utah as "home" and consider their time here some great sacrifice for their husband's job. Makes you wonder what they really think of us backwards Texans.

On a related note, I hate going to a professional conference and seeing a guy in a shirt that you know he just bought at Penny's and waited until he got out of the shower that morning to take it out of the package. The guy thinks he's blending in, but for some reason doesn't notice the folds of lines and right angles around his waist.

Did he at least remember to take off the "inspected by #17" sticker? If so, he's ahead of Mr. Gordon.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
